Keeping up with the Dailey's: Back to work...back to reality

Well peeps, my time as a stay at home wife/mom has come to an end. Monday was my first day back to work. It all happened so fast that I didn't get an opportunity to tell many people about this. I interviewed last week, received the offer last Wednesday and started this past Monday. It's been a great first week. I'm super excited to be working a 9/80 schedule again. For those who don't know what that is, you basically work 80 hours in 9 days instead of 10 and have every other Friday off. It's awesome!! I'm not sure if I'm more excited about that or the fact that I'm hiring Helga back to clean the house. It's great to be back at BP with a new group of professionals.
Let's back track a few weeks... Kiarra finished up her 7th grade volleyball season undefeated! She played with a great group of girls and I was happy for the drama free team she was on. She had a great coach and learned more about the sport. She starts club volleyball on Sunday and we are super excited about that. She is taking donations if anyone is interested :) Here are a few pics of her with a few volleyball friends. I took a few of her on the court with my camera but they didn't turn out too well. Taryn took all of these with my phone.

Jayden had tryouts for basketball last weekend. We'd already signed him up but he had to tryout to determine his level so the organization can place him in the right team. He is so ridiculously excited, he is driving me crazy. Practice doesn't start until after Thanksgiving and he is going crazy waiting! He's been practicing quite often and is improving daily.

Taryn is doing great in school and is learning so much. She comes home each day and teaches us new Spanish words she is learning and she is starting to read more and more! It is amazing to see her sound out the letters and read the words! She'll be 5 next week and I seriously can't believe it. It just doesn't seem possible that my baby girl will be 5 years old in a few days.

Trick-or-Treating was awesome this year. We didn't put any time or effort in costumes but we pulled it off...Jeff even got into the fun. We went to a friends house for the evening and the kids had so much fun. It was a great evening of fellowship, junk food and fun.
